Mystery: The High-Dimensional Overlooker

"Do you want me to take you... to interview the residents of the East District like a reporter?" Old Kohler scratched his head and said uncertainly to Klein: "Actually, you only need to take a few photos on the street. That’s it… No matter which street corner you look at, the current situation of East End residents can be completely summarized.”

"What I want to investigate is whether there are any places where people have disappeared or large-scale diseases are prevalent recently." Klein said solemnly to the old Kohler: "Do you have any places you can recommend?"

"Recommended..." Old Kohler sighed, thinking of his wife and daughter who died before. He looked at Klein in front of him and whispered: "Please come with me, there are many places like this..."

……

"Ah, my friend, do you really think that your decision can be hidden from our Lord?"

Gao Wei looked at Panatia, the "Nightingale of Despair," with a playful expression. Panatia's expression was grim. She looked at the four people before her and couldn't help but ponder how to escape. She was flattered to be surrounded by a Saint and two Sequence Fives, each carrying a True Creator's artifact. With this configuration further strengthened, they could even hunt down a Sequence Three Beyonder.

She suddenly felt a surge of regret. She shouldn't have completely offended the Aurora Society, their seemingly estranged ally, before she'd fully digested the potion. While these fanatics had calmed down a bit, they were still lunatics willing to risk their lives for their master. It was impossible to judge their mental state. Why had she been so greedy back then, and so ruthlessly schemed against the Aurora Society?

For example, this time, despite hiding all the low-ranking members of the Aurora Society, they still dared to come to her with a Saint and two Sequence 5 Shepherds to interrogate her about whether she had betrayed her allies. This was different from all the sects she had worked with before; sometimes, an overly direct style of action could make it more difficult to deal with.

"We have never betrayed our allies," Panatia said firmly. Gao Wei chuckled and took out a stack of photos and threw them in front of Panatia. There were photos of her and the prince being intimate, secret meetings with the military, and even a picture of Ins Zangwill with a gloomy look on his face.

After seeing the evidence, Panatia immediately changed her tune.

"What do you need as compensation? I admit that there may be some small gaps in our cooperation, but I think we can compensate."

Gao Wei said lightly: "Then recite the honorable name of our Lord."

"...Please change your request." Panatia gritted her teeth and said, "I can help you arrange the ceremony that will allow the True Creator to descend right now. I can even sacrifice some of the Beyonders of the Gnosis Society in Backlund to speed up the True Creator's arrival."

This was the biggest concession Panatia could accept, but Gao Wei scorned it: the True Creator's divine descending vessel was already approaching Backlund. If He wanted to descend, he could actually appear directly now. However, the True Creator did not send this divine vessel to come to this world with the help of it. On the contrary, what He wanted to do was to let the Goddess of Night and the Lord of Storms kill his divine body.

What will be infused with the power of the True Creator in this divine descending body is the humanity and dark side that once belonged to the "ancient Sun God". This is also the biggest reason why the True Creator went crazy after the fall of the ancient Sun God.

This is why the True Creator is not afraid of another "Feast of Betrayal" in this cooperation. The True Creator will naturally not put too much power into the body that was originally meant to be an abandoned son, even if the sequence is lost. All the extraordinary characteristics from two to nine, without loss of sequence one, is equivalent to no loss. And the true God’s back-up plan of the True Creator is in the Southern Continent.

Now Mr. A and Medici are guarding the True Creator. Even Ouroboros, whose whereabouts are elusive, is ready to take action at any time to cover up the vision of the True Creator's birth. In order to ensure the smooth descent of the True Creator, Ouroboros even gave up the opportunity to hunt down Will Auceptin.

"Okay." Gao Wei did not show his true thoughts on his face, he just nodded slightly and said to Panatya in front of him:

"With a condition attached."

"Facilitate the disaster you promised as soon as possible before the New Year."

……

Backlund's factories operated day and night; steam gushed into the air, and pollution formed smog.

After investigating the East District, Klein raised his neck and moved his stiff joints. He couldn't help but think:

For the people of the East District, which one is more deadly, the pollution from gods or the pollution from "compatriots"?

They are more like living corpses than "living corpses", and there seem to be just dried hearts underneath those skinny bodies.

Klein looked at the heavy photo in his hand, and his heart felt heavier than the photo in his hand. He crossed out a piece of information in the notebook he carried with him, and he could basically locate the culprit of the East District girl's kidnapping case.

He planned to return to the underground of Daylight Manor to ask the Goddess of Night if he could use the power of the "Night Watcher" to investigate Capin.

Now all the suspicions investigated by Klein are focused on this rich man with a bad reputation.

Chapter 100 Kingdom Decree

Old Neil stood in the backyard of the monastery church and yawned.

He was wearing the priest's attire of the Church of the Night, holding an old broom in his hand, sweeping the ground in the backyard of the church. After Old Neil was urgently treated for the contamination of the "Hidden Sage", he could no longer serve as a Nighthawk. However, because of his age, the Church of the Night arranged for him to work as a church priest.

After all, every Nighthawk is a devout believer of the Night Goddess, and their guardian spirit of daring to sacrifice for the people has surpassed most ordinary believers. After passing the necessary tests, Old Neil is now fully qualified to work as a priest.

After being treated by the Church of Dark Night, Old Neil is out of danger of losing control. However, due to his own special characteristics, Old Neil cannot stay too far away from the Church of Dark Night.

"Father Neil!"

A crisp voice appeared beside Old Neil's ears. Old Neil chuckled, turned his head to look at the girl in the nun's robe, and greeted her:

"What's the matter, little Romilly?"

Old Neil looked at the child's bright eyes and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: It's great that there is a company in Backlund willing to donate to the Church of Night Monastery in its own name... Thanks to such devout believers of the goddess, these children can grow up safely under the goddess' blessing.

I hope the goddess will bless this company called "Ji Zhou" to continue to operate well, and hope that the owner of that company can always maintain his kindness...

"I heard that some brothers outside are discussing the affairs of His Royal Highness recently!" Romilie shouted loudly, like a happy deer: "They said that the king is going to start to make knights! Father Neil, will you do it? Being rewarded by the king and becoming the Duke of the kingdom?"

"Knighting?" Old Neil was stunned for a moment, then said to the little girl with a smile: "Father Neil is the goddess' missionary and cannot be knighted - who is discussing these things? By the way, Xiao Luomi Leigh, why do you think Father Neil will become a Duke?"

"It's Brother Leonard and Brother Cornley!"

After saying this, the little girl realized that she had subconsciously betrayed Leonard and Conley. Romily was stunned for a moment and stammered, "Because Father Neil is so powerful? No matter what question I ask you, you seem to know the answer..."

Alas, if you were also a "secret peeper" who lived to my age, your knowledge would be surprisingly broad... Old Neil thought silently in his heart, but he just said to the little girl according to the content of "Night Revelation": "We are in the arms of the goddess, just like..."

As he spoke, Old Neil squatted down and touched the little girl's head, thinking in his heart:

Don't let Leonard and Cohen say things they shouldn't in front of kids!

……

After finishing his morning class, Old Neil was ready to "talk" to the two boys who were talking nonsense. Although their current sequence is higher than that of Old Neil who is in sequence nine, Old Neil's status in their hearts is still infinitely close to that of "elder", and he still has some of the majesty of their elders.

Looking at the two young Nighthawks who were whispering in the corridor, Old Neil coughed and whispered to them: "You two boys——"

"Ah? What's wrong, Old Neil?" Leonard, wearing bright red gloves, heard the voice and looked at Old Neil. Old Neil smiled "haha" and instantly changed his face and roared at Leonard in front of him: "Don't discuss issues that shouldn't be discussed in the monastery! The children have all come to tell me! Church members should not talk nonsense about the Kingdom. , have you forgotten?"

"Old Neil, your temper is really getting worse—" Leonard raised his eyebrows and said to Old Neil, "Don't you think this is very strange? It's not common for a king to suddenly confer a knighthood!"

"...The king is knighted for only two reasons."

As a "secret spy", Old Neil has been treated by high-sequence members of the Church of the Night after being contaminated by the "Hidden Sage", but he still retains some ability to communicate with the "Hidden Sage". It's strange that Old Neil hasn't felt the same crazy voice of knowledge infusion recently as before. Instead, the "Hidden Sage" will play various tidbits about Backlund in his mind at regular times every day. information.

Due to his own experience of being contaminated, Old Neil almost believed that the contamination left by the "Hidden Sage" on his body had not been completely removed, and he specifically asked the archbishop for help in checking. After repeated confirmation, Old Neil accepted it. The fact that the knowledge now instilled by the "Hidden Sage" is much less harmful.

To be honest, Old Neil was still quite unaccustomed to the Hidden Sage suddenly turning into a radio. This caused a lot of trouble in his life. He couldn't sleep during his lunch break. He just wanted to listen to the stories told by the "Hidden Sage".

And after knowing the tragic fact that he was almost seriously contaminated by the "Hidden Sage" when he was in Tingen City, Old Neil was also panicked. Whether he would die due to pollution was secondary. When Old Neil thought about hurting his companions because he lost control, he couldn't help but feel guilty from the bottom of his heart.

Old Neil also thought about it after coming to Backlund Monastery. He should wait until he went to the Kingdom of the Night Goddess, and then return to the Kingdom of Darkness to reunite with his wife... Now he is here to take care of these children. , until the goddess calls him.

While Old Neil was thinking wildly in his mind, he told Leonard about the knowledge and insights he had heard from the "Hidden Sage". Of course, Old Neil spoke very restrainedly. He chose some widely circulated rumors and said:

"The king may feel that the officials responsible for the government are no longer under his control, or are not in his own interests... Well, if the officials' 'reimbursement' goes too far, it may also arouse the king's anger." Lao Ni I said to Leonard with a wink, completely missing the look of the kind priest just now. He looked at Leonard and didn't answer, and continued casually:

"Of course, it's also possible that the king has finally realized the teachings of the gods and hopes to make a certain contribution to Loen becoming a 'kingdom of gods on earth'..."

"Old Neil, what you say is becoming more and more like what is in the scriptures." Cornley said to Old Neil with a smile. Upon hearing this, Old Neil responded angrily:

"Go, go, you kid, stop talking nonsense here. If you don't spend more time with your wife at this time, do you have to wait until you are old to regret it? Stop saying these things here that shouldn't be said in front of the goddess!"

Old Neil obviously thought of the time he spent with his wife. He let out a long sigh, tapped four times on his chest, drew a "Crimson Moon" shape, and said quietly: " Praise the goddess..."

Leonard was in a daze.

He tilted his head slightly, as if listening to something. It wasn't until Old Neil glared at Leonard that Leonard returned to his office. While walking quickly in the corridor, Leonard suddenly whispered something, but it seemed he was just talking to himself. Conley asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Leonard?"

"It's okay..." Leonard muttered casually, brushing the matter off. Conley didn't dwell on it and went back to work. Leonard sat quietly in his office, staring blankly at the ceiling. In his mind, he asked Pales questions about this knighthood, his brows furrowing slightly from time to time.

"Old man, is there really something hidden behind the king's knighthood?"

Leonard asked eagerly to Pales in his mind. In his view, the last incident involving him with a hidden secret unknown to them had completely taken away the life of his friend. What kind of murderous intention would be hidden behind this secret incident?

"...There are some questions I won't tell you, and you shouldn't ask them either." Pales sighed, and said slowly to Leonard: "What I'm telling you now is just because you have already encountered it before. Amon, in order to prevent a similar situation from happening again..."

"Okay, okay." Leonard's tone was still quite urgent: "I won't ask any more questions, just tell me!"

"Alas..." Pales looked at the silly boy he had parasitized, and suddenly regretted his choice again. He just sighed and slowly told Leonard the story behind the incident. Hidden information that has nothing to do with the extraordinary people in the "audience" path.

From the perspective of Pales, a veteran Angel of Sequence 1, all the strange things that happened in Backlund are somehow connected - and this sudden "nobility" is more like the impatience of some high-Sequence Extraordinary. The result of the promotion among them - it may even be the audience that "what is said must be known". But there is no need to tell Leonard these things. Pales knows that this silly boy can't keep his temper.

……

Old Neil, dressed in the priest's attire of the Church of Night, continued to sweep the floor. It was already noon, morning prayers had concluded, and Old Neil had nothing else to do. He was content with this peaceful life of raising children. Even though it was a stark contrast to the life of a Night Watchman, he now only waited for his destiny to come and return to the Goddess' Kingdom. He had come to terms with it. Now, taking care of the children and spending time with his former colleagues was a good life.

After all, after understanding that his wife could not be resurrected, the obsession that had always existed in Old Neil's heart finally dissipated.

Speaking of these former colleagues who survived Tingen, Old Neil couldn't help but sigh. Who could have imagined that in the disaster brought down by the "True Creator", the only one who died was the new Nighthawk?

Instead, it happened that the newcomer, Klein, who had studied with him for a while, died after preventing a disaster involving the evil god...

Old Neil sighed, but heard a slightly serious voice coming from his ear:

"I'm looking for Captain Dunn."

Old Neil immediately turned around and saw a man wearing a white mask and an old coat. He couldn't help but become alert due to the habit of the previous night watcher. For some reason, Old Neil felt a little familiar with this person's figure, but he still asked based on his previous experience as a Nighthawk: "Who are you?"

Klein revealed the specially crafted red glove on his right hand and showed it to Old Neil. Upon seeing this uniquely crafted "red glove," Old Neil composed himself and said solemnly to the masked figure beside him, "Please follow me."

After walking around for a while, Old Neil stopped outside the office door. He gathered himself and said to Klein, "Please come in. This is Dunn Smith's office. I'll be on guard here, and you can just talk."

"Aren't you going to come in together?" Klein looked at Old Neil, maintaining a serious tone, and said to him: "You should be a Nighthawk too, I saw your name on the information."

Klein is still very impressed with the teacher who guided him into the field of mysticism. Whether it was the magic potion that Old Neil gave him to drink, or the two fellow villagers who beat up the "Hidden Sage" that he saw with his spiritual vision...

"I have retired." Old Neil smiled cheerfully, and then said seriously to Klein: "Salute to you, the 'Nighthawk'. Now you can go and perform the 'Red Gloves' with Captain Dunn 's task."

Even the members of the "Red Gloves" team are not on duty all the time. As a former Nighthawk, Old Neil saw that Klein was disguised and wearing the iconic red gloves, so he could naturally guess what Klein was going to do. do what. Old Neil didn't want to waste this "red glove"'s time because of himself, even if this "red glove" might be familiar to him.

Klein nodded and walked into Dunn Smith's office.

"Captain Dunn," Klein said to Dunn, who was buried in a paper. Dunn looked up in confusion after hearing the voice. Seeing that it was "Professor Moriarty" he had met before, he quickly stood up.

"what's up?"

"I've uncovered some issues," Klein said seriously, pulling out a stack of photos from his coat. These were the incidents related to "disease" and "trafficking" that Klein had investigated last night while following Old Kohler. Beneath these photos, Klein had also written a document detailing the situation.

Now Klein discovered that these events all quietly pointed to Capin, whom he was investigating. When things were abnormal, there must be something wrong. Klein discovered the problem but lacked evidence, so he was busy until the second half of the night. After using the ritual magic agreed upon before to contact the Goddess of Night, Klein received the inspiration to conduct an investigation.

It was precisely because of this that after going back to rest for a while, Klein hurried to Dunn's office, preparing to use the power of the Church of the Night to investigate Kaping. After all, no matter which city in Loen they are in, the church's low-level Beyonders are all connected with the police department.

Klein planned to go to the Church of Evernight first to start the mission application process. By the end of this week, he would be able to start blocking Kapin's actions.

Chapter 101 The King’s Invitation

After all, human trafficking is such a dirty business. Not to mention that the Evernight Goddess's teachings condemn this behavior; even the Beyonders within the church are deeply disgusted by it. Regardless of the world, human traffickers are always a profession that is deeply despised. If given the opportunity, even the kind-hearted Klein would ruthlessly deal with Capin during the operation.

"...That's pretty much it. I think it's possible to investigate Kapin. Now I'm submitting an application to the Church of the Night, hoping to get approval." Klein said solemnly, feeling what he had reported to Dunn when he was still in Sequence Nine. Things, there was a bit of nostalgia in his tone for a while.

"Okay." Dunn obviously attached great importance to the information conveyed by Klein, and stood up to prepare a report:
